 Never
before has there been a student model bass clarinet with such
a rich, warm sound. The YCL-221 has a tone quality very close
to that of a professional instrument; it's hard to believe it
isn't made of top grade grenadilla. And the easy playability and
accurate intonation will help any young musician sound better.
The secret of this remarkable instrument is the fact that it has
the same basic body specifications and tonehole designs as our
pro model bass clarinets. And it looks as beautiful as it sounds:
a special matte finish gives the durable ABS Resin body the look
of a wooden clarinet. No one but Yamaha can give you such quality
for such a price.
Design Based on Pro Model
We use the same materials and special crafting techniques as on
our pro model YCL-621 to form the bell and neck giving improved
roundness for better resonance. All key systems were also designed
based on the 621 for smooth comfortable performance.
A Natural Neck Angle
The YCL-221 boasts a neck angle similar to a soprano clarinet
for natural feeling comfort, endurance, and playability. Only
Yamaha with its hightech production capability can offer this
neck angle on a student model.
Easy to Hold/Easy to Play
The YCL-221 key positioning is ergonomically designed for comfort,
while the ABS resin body is much lighter than wooden models making
it easier to hold and play, And the attractive matte finish looks
the same as a pro Grenadilla model.
Stronger Keys
After extensive research, Yamaha metallurgists have come up with
a new stronger alloy for the key mechanism. This enhanced durability
is especially important on a bass clarinet with its long key rods.
Register Key Design New Register Key Design
The positioning and size of the register key tonehole was scientifically
determined to give the most accurate intonation and strong tonal
projection. The new register key mechanism has been created for
stable smooth action.
Easy to assembleeasy to assemble Easy to
Assemble
A rounded key connector ensures that the keys fit together during
assembly of the upper and lower joints. And Yamaha's unique combination
of natural cork complemented by synthetic rings facilitates effortless
assembly.
Thumbhook Thumbhook
The thumbhook is adjustable for comfortable positioning of the
right hand. Made of ABS resin, it can flex a little to prevent
chaffing, but is extremely strong.
Compact Case Compact Case
Because the YCL-221 body separates into two pieces, it fits into
a very compact and lightweight case. This attractive and stylish
case is made to stack for easy storage, and offers extremely durable
protection for the instrument.
